O Christmas Tree

we conquered.

We wondered how we would get it home.

If only it would just grow legs and walk itself outta here.

Then came the really fun part.  

I just love watching my little ones decorate the tree.  With Christmas music playing and everyone excited that Christmas is coming soon.

The shimmery lights and the colorful balls.

The sweet homemade ornaments that are so special to me.

Every little hand taking part in making the tree beautiful.

And big hands too.

Even though we only decorate the top half of the tree.

To keep all these pretty ornaments out of these sweet little hands.

And every year, we're sure that it's the prettiest tree we've ever had.

And every year, we're right.

I LOVE LOVE LOVE the arrows on your wall. I told John I wanted that on our walls and his response was "but our quiver is not full" - i think we can just put it up with hopes of that happening soon enough. So cute!!!

Funny- I was just going to comment on the quiver full of arrows on the wall too! (so funny what you don't think is going to stick out in a picture!) Anyway...just had to laugh when I read the first comment! Love it!

That is the way to get a Christmas tree! You have the most beautiful photos- you need to share what type of camera you use- it's awesome.
